Welcome to the National Girls Collaborative Project November Webinar: Girls RISEnet: Strategies to Build Capacity to Engage Minority Girls Thank you for joining us! We will begin at 11:00 AM Pacific/ 2:00 PM Eastern.
Webinar Agenda • Introduction to NGCP and Project Resources • Introduction to Girls RISEnet • Activities and Resources • Travel Awards and Mini-Grants • Girls RISEnet in Action • Questions and Additional Resources Available
National Girls Collaborative Project The National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) brings together organizations that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). www.ngcproject.org
Project Goals • Strengthen the capacity of girl-serving STEM programs to effectively reach and serve underrepresented girls in STEM. • Increase the effectiveness of Collaboratives by providing professional development focused on sustainability, organizational effectiveness, and shared leadership. • Maximize K-12 school counselors’ access to and use of relevant, high-quality resources that increase awareness of barriers to girls’ interest and engagement in STEM.

Girls RISEnet is strengthening the professional capacity of informal science educators to engage and motivate minority girls in grades 6-12 to explore and pursue science and engineering careers. The project addresses the national need to cultivate diversity in preparing the next generation of female scientists and engineers. The Girls RISE (Raising Interest in Science and Engineering) National Museum Network is funded by Grant No. HRD-0937245 from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Human Resource Development, Research on Gender in Science and Engineering Extension Services (GSE/EXT) Program. Project collaborators include the Miami Science Museum, the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) and SECME, Inc.
Objectives include: • Utilize the national network of science centers and museums to raise awareness and broaden access for girls underrepresented in STEM. • Develop linkages between organizations with the common purpose of increasing the pipeline of minority female engineers. • Facilitate translation of gender and diversity research into practice through a unified training program. • Provide ongoing services, access to program materials, and tools to broaden the ability of science centers to provide relevant and engaging programming for girls.
